Elves Live In The Land     
        Beyond The Great Dam.     
  It  Was  Built In The Late Sixties.   
    The Elves Came To Us  Then.     
                      
                      
 They  Were  Very  Manipulative,  And  We 
 Came  To Trust Them.          Us 
 Kids Would  Play Down At The Water  Even 
 Though We  Were Not Allowed.       
    Sometimes  The  Sluice Would  Close 
 Entirely,  And The  River  At  The  Dams 
 Foot Would  Dry Up,  Revealing The Rocky 
 Water   Garden  That  Had  Been   Hidden 
 Beneath, And We Would Go There.      
      Before The  Dam  Opened  Again, 
 There Would Be A Signal,  But  The Elves 
 Would Make Us  Not Hear It, And Suddenly 
 We Would Find  The Water Rising, Already 
 At Our Knees.                
                      
  By Then The  Elves  Would Be  Gone.
